sleepy jack 100
 

I know there's a sickening amount of 100s going on but this one we'll be finished. It's basically all the albums I've gotten into this past year. I also decided none of the albums/artists on the old 100 are going on here just because they're pretty predictable anyway even if only about 20% of them would've made it on here.


100. Port O'Brien:
The Wind and the Swell

You'd think after the Decemberists and Modest Mouse indie bands would drop the sea imagery but Port O'Brien decided to take it to a new level with their shout along songs of being a Fisherman's son they take you into their history of the life of a salty sea dog, sometimes sad and stormy sometimes happy and hot, but always exciting.

Where's your first 100?

EDIT: Oh and Catie (I'm too lazy to PM you but I know you'll look at this) you'll like this band. They're basically what would happen if Rosa took their instruments sailing.

EDIT EDIT: You'd probably like them too Proggy, they're indie-folk (which I know you're into) and they're also from around your own stomping grounds.

Ok, thanks for the rec. Btw, I read through your last top 100 thread and noticed The Last Hour isn't on your favorite songs list for your #1 album. What do you think of the song?

There's no Elliott Smith song I don't like and it was kind of ridiculous of me to list favorite songs because I like all the songs on the album but I like it all, especially recently. It seems like every time I listen to Elliott something new jumps at me and I've probably played all his albums at least a hundred times.

Did your tastes broaden since you made the last one? If so, it would be great to see another one.

Ok, but what do you think of the specific song? Like, just another great Smith song, one of your favorites etc. I'm just curious since it's oftentimes my favorite Smith song (They rotate).

I think it's my second favorite (at the moment) off the album. I think my favorite song off it is Let's Get Lost though.

I've recently gotten more into electronic music and I think my taste in rap is finally more definitive. So I'd say so, there isn't going to be much metal or anything though or even much rock to be honest. I'm still not big into classic rock either and they'll be even less on this list (on the last one I think it was pretty much just the Beach Boys, Pink Floyd, Bob Dylan and the Beatles.)

99. Squarepusher:

I'm really pissed I can't find a (full) video for Iambic 9 Poetry it's one of my favorite pieces of music I've heard recently and if the whole album was that good this would probably be number one. But oh well, there's really only one word I can use to describe this album (and Squarepusher in general) it's interesting and sometimes I don't like it but I never find myself listening to it and yawning.

I will be downloading everything in this thread and commenting on it eventually pretty much just cause i luv u etanz.
